## Sign your work - the Developer's Certificate of Origin
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch.
|
|
The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):
|
|
|
|
> Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
|
>
|
|
> By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
>
|
|
> (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
|
> have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
|
> indicated in the file; or
|
|
>
|
|
> (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
|
> of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
|
> license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
|
> work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
|
> by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
|
> permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
|
> in the file; or
|
|
>
|
|
> (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
|
> person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
|
> it.
|
|
>
|
|
> (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
|
> are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
|
> personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
|
> maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
|
> this project or the open source license(s) involved.

#### DCO Sign-Off Methods
|
|
|
|
The DCO requires a sign-off message in the following format appear on each commit in the pull request:
|
|
|
|
> Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
|
|
|
|
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
|
|
|
|
The DCO text can either be manually added to your commit body, or you can add either **-s** or **--signoff** to your usual git commit commands.
|
|
If you forget to add the sign-off you can also amend a previous commit with the sign-off by running **git commit --amend -s**.
|
|
If you've pushed your changes to GitHub already you'll need to force push your branch after this with **git push -f**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Alternative Sign-Off Methods in rare cases
|
|
|
|
If it is really no option for you to disclose your real name and email address, there might be a chance that you can get your contribution accepted.
|
|
In this case please contact the maintainers directly and verify the adherence to the DCO of the contribution manually.
|
|
This might include quite some legal overhead for both parties.
